Rust in July: Getting started with Rust

(The meetup will likely be held in German but we'll switch to English if needed.)

Dear Rustacean,

our next Meetup will be on Wednesday 2025-07-02, 19:15 CEST.

You're new to Rust, tried it out with some private projects or are already working professionally with it for years? You're in good company! Whether you want to speed up your python code, write a web service, need interop with your C++-codebase, cross-compile for a microcontroller, write an emulator, … we've got you covered!

We commonly open up with a brief summary of noteworthy changes in the Rust ecosystem. Be it updates to the language itself, public events, its impact on other projects and languages, …

If you've been waiting to explore Rust, this is your opportunity!
This month's meetup will feature an introductory talk about Rust, showcasing its approach to combining speed with safety, while eliminating many common errors found in other low-level languages.

As usual, any remaining time is open for whatever you'd like to talk about!
Always wanted to know why Rust is harder to learn than other popular languages or why it lacks a certain feature? When is it appropriate to rewrite a project in Rust? Is the compiler really that slow and are the binaries really that big? Do all those safety guarantees have an impact on the performance? Fetch a drink and let's find it out.

See you soon!

Yours,
Kai and Florian
